Teens are encouraged to share their experiences, insights and solutions to problems with County Executive Ike Leggett, members of the County Council and representatives from Montgomery County Public Schools at a Teen Forum to be held on Thursday, May 31 from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Silver SpringCivicBuilding, One Veteran’s Place, Silver Spring.

Members of Leggett’s Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) that provides MontgomeryCounty teens the opportunity to develop leadership skills while serving their communities are organizing the free event. Appointed by the CountyExecutive, YAC members represent youth from across the County. The committee works to strengthen students’ voices in the schools through “speak outs” and contact with County government. Another part of the committee’s mission is to help eliminate violence, alcohol and other drug use, and help fight racial discrimination through multicultural education.
